soccer and parties...

This was Maggie's last year to play indoor soccer at the church, so she and Owen played on the same team and Joe coached them. She has played since she was 3 here and she was sad that she can't play next year. I didn't get any pictures of them games but this was the end of season banquet. The kids were getting their trophies.





















Their team this year was all their friends: Maggie, Owen, Isaac, Zoe and Noah, and one other little girl as well. Joe and Jeff coached the team together since both of them work long hours and travel some. Joe did a great job working out his work and didn't miss a game though. He does a great job juggling work, and the kids schedules. He does travel quite a bit but does his very best to be there for all their activities and games and has always coached their teams, which is great for me so that I don't have to go sit through all the practices!




Owen had his Thanksgiving program at school last week and he was so cute. He was so excited about it and all the songs they were singing, he wouldn't sing any for us and told us he wanted it to be a surprise. Here are a few of them performing.




I had told him I wanted him to do a great job of standing still and paying attention during his program (he isn't the most attentive) and in the middle of the show, after a song, he looks out at me and says, "Am i doing a great job??" And yes, he was!














After the program they had cookies and snacks. Owen loved his turkey cookie!
